My Wargames - Introduction to Miniature Wargaming

Introduction to Miniature Wargaming

Miniature wargaming is all about two people facing each other across a
battlefield, each attempting to move their models into position to fire upon their
opponent's force or attack them in hand-to-hand combat. The victor is decided
by a combination of skill and luck with the players rolling dice to determine
whether an arrow hits or a foe is stuck down.

Miniature wargames are available from many different companies. One of
the more well known companies is Games Workshop. Their games include Warhammer,
The Lord of the Rings, Mordheim, Warmaster, and Bloodbowl, and each game has
continued support from Games Workshop and their Specialist Games Range.

Miniature wargames can pitch anything from small warbands, to huge armies
against each other, and you are their supreme commander. With many games, you
paint the miniatures which you buy, to make them look spectacular on the
battlefield.

Warhammer, Warmaster and the Lord of the Rings allow you to fight battles in
wide open spaces with whatever terrain you like, or you can lay siege to the
enemy's fortress. Mordheim allows you to fight small skirmishes in cities or
towns, or anywhere else that you can think of, and Bloodbowl is the game of
fantasy football.

I hope this entices you to play miniature wargames, and a link to
Games Workshop is available on the links page.
